Inhibitory Effect of Music Therapy Combined with Comfort Care on Reflux Events during Enteral Nutrition in Comatose Patients.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThis study aimed to assess the effect of music therapy combined with comfort care on reflux events during enteral nutrition in comatose patients.
methodsThis study was a retrospective, single-centre, non-randomised study of 120 comatose patients receiving enteral nutrition in the neurological intensive care unit from January 2022 to December 2023. According to nursing approaches received, patients were divided into a comfort care group ( n = 58) and a combined care group ( n = 62). The combined care group received comfort care combined with music therapy, whereas the comfort care group received comfort care alone. Key evaluation parameters included reflux episodes, reflux time, reflux height, gastric residual volume (GRV), gastric antral motility and haemodynamic indicators. Data were analysed using independent t -tests for between-group comparisons and paired t -tests for within-group pre-post comparisons. Chi-square tests were used for categorical variables.
resultsCompared with the comfort care group, the combined care group was associated with significantly fewer reflux episodes, lower reflux time and height and lower GRV ( P < 0.05). Additionally, the combined care group showed higher gastric antral motility parameters (frequency, amplitude and motility index), reduced systolic and diastolic blood pressure and lower heart rate than the comfort care group ( P < 0.05).
conclusionsMusic therapy combined with comfort care was associated with reduced reflux events, improved gastrointestinal function and enhanced safety of enteral nutrition in comatose patients. These findings suggest that this combined approach may be helpful in managing enteral nutrition-related complications, although prospective randomised controlled trials are needed to establish causality.
